Your entry is contradictory. First the noun is masculine, but then it is feminine. RAE says feminine. Best, GH

I found the following at www.wordreference.com

consonante adj inv m/f
(rima: que coinciden vocales y consonantes al final del verso)**
rhyming adj
El soneto tiene rima consonante.


The Spanishdict.com dictionary says:
consonante[con-so-nahn’-tay]
noun
1. Rhyme, a word, the last syllable or syllables of which, from the vowel where the accent is, corresponds with that of another. (m)


In Spanish, "consonante" can be either masculine or feminine depending on "rima" or "letra" use.
